JH sent word that the alternate club t-shirts did not appear to be a practical consideration at this time.

New Business:

Club insurance- National insurance comes on line in January 2007. Our own local LSMVPA insurance is due July 1^st for the next year. We will check into paying for half a year. If that’s not possible, then it was voted to pay the whole year’s premium and see if we can get a partial refund when the national insurance takes effect.

Announcements: A local individual has a collection of WWll memorabilia, primarily Japanese which he would like to dispose of as a lot rather than selling it piecemeal.

Brent Mullins has M101 trailers (Canadian) for sale for $450.

Dean K has been visiting vets at the VA hospital, took a WWll M8 crewman for a ride in his own M8.

Adjourn - 2018 hours.
